Application filed Triarch 21, 1908. Serial No. 222,382.

I end of the groove while the other end 5' of the groove is open; The type are set in the holder by sliding them into the grooves through the open end 5 thereof or by inserting them into the grooves between the ends To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Josnrn S. DUNCAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicage, in the county of Cook and. State of Illi- 1101s, have invented new and useful Improvements in Type-Holders, of which the follow-v ing is a specification.

The object of this invention. is to provide a against the stop or not as desired.

At each end. of the type holder there is en to be engaged with some part of a frame to secure the type holder in place on the frame This lip preferably. extends outward from the hack of the holder, otherwise the bottom of the type groove, in the direction of the length of the holder and I may provide one lip at each end of each type groove as shown in Fig. 1 or otherwise construct and arrange the lips providing always for at least one lip at each end of the holder.

My improved type holder can be easily and inexpensively made by stamping it from a single sheet of metal and the outwardly prostruction and provided with means by which it can be readily engaged with a type frame or other device for carrying the holder.

The type holder is designed more especially for holding an address form and to be carried by frame which may be arranged in a card index system and run through a mechine for addressing envelope, letters or other matter but it may he used for other purposes to which it is or may be readily adapted by those skilled in the art.

- The type holder may be provided with any desired number of type grooves and for the urposes of this application 1 have shown the liolder with three grooves in the accompanywith anges or other parts of a frame to re ceive theholder.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A type holder stamped from a single sheet of metal and having a plurality of parallel type grooves, one end of each groove being ing drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the holder. Fig. 2 shows the closed end of the holder. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 showing the open end of the holder.

The type holder 4 is stamped from a single sheet of metal and is provided with a plurality of type grooves 5. The holder may be being hent transversely to form a stop at the other end of each groove, and a lip proiecting outward from the bottom of each groove at each end thereof and beyond the stop at one manner es, for example, in accord ence with my Patent No. 881,467 dated March 10, 1908 but as the particular shape of the groove conend. stitutes no port of the present invention it i v will not he necessary to enter into a detail JOSEPH DUNCAN description thereof.
